Desde logo, representa uma derrota para os Estados Unidos, que não conseguiram dissuadir a Rússia de invadir a Ucrânia. Por outro lado, a resposta defensiva à Guerra Russo-Ucraniana, concentrada na contenção dos riscos de escalada e na necessidade de evitar a Terceira Guerra Mundial, confirma o retraimento da principal potência internacional, que perdeu a iniciativa estratégica para as potências revisionistas. Por último, o regresso da guerra à Europa marca o início de uma sequência de guerras em cadeia, que demonstra que os Estados Unidos deixaram de assegurar a estabilidade internacional.]]></p></abstract>
<abstract abstract-type="short" xml:lang="en"><p><![CDATA[Abstract The Russia-Ukraine war has put an end to Pax Americana. First, the war is a defeat for the United States, which was unable to deter Russia from invading Ukraine. Secondly, the defensive reaction to the war, focusing on containing the risks of escalation and the need to avoid World War III, confirms the retreat of the USA and the fact that it has lost the strategic initiative to the revisionist powers. Thirdly, the return of war to Europe has opened the way for a series of successive wars, showing that the USA can no longer enforce the stability of the international order.]]></p></abstract>
